Note:  CUI Global has filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an automatic five-day extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.   The Company requires additional time to resolve non-cash potential adjustments related to the valuation of its equity method investment in Virtual Power Systems, Inc. As a result, the Company is presenting the financial performance summaries for the second quarter and first half of 2019 shown below, revenue, gross profit, loss from operations and cash and cash equivalents but not consolidated net loss, loss per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA.  In addition, the Company is not providing consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and first half of 2019 in this press release. 

Second Quarter 2019 Unaudited Financial Performance Summary: (comparisons to prior year period)

First Half 2019 Unaudited Financial Performance Summary: (comparisons to prior year period)

Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standard Update 2016-02

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessee recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, at the beginning of fiscal 2019.  As of June 30, 2019, $7.2 million was included with non-current assets, $1.0 million with current liabilities and $6.4 million with non-current liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a result of the new lease standard.

"For the second quarter, we narrowed our consolidated net loss substantially year-over-year and also on a sequential basis due to significant revenue gains in our Energy segment together with certain expense reductions," stated William Clough, president and CEO of CUI Global. "We continue to see strong demand for our engineering and integration services in North America that is being driven by oil and gas customers in the Permian Basin and South Texas processing facilities. Power & Electromechanical segment revenue was lower year-over-year due to lower sales to distribution customers who are holding higher than normal inventory levels."

Continued Mr. Clough, "We continued to execute our strategy to utilize CUI Global as the public company platform through which to aggregate energy infrastructure companies into a new marketplace entrant that can effectively compete in the growing North American energy services industry. We have culled our proposed list of target companies announced on May 15 to one and are close to entering into a purchase and sale agreement ("PSA") with a new acquisition candidate that is expected to be far less dilutive and generally more favorable for CUI Global than the proposed May 15 transaction. With the signing of that PSA, Jim O'Neil will join CUI Global as its CEO. We remain steadfast in our belief that our strategy, led by Jim and addressing a large and growing market, offers our shareholders a compelling path to higher value."

Company Conditions

Based on recent actions taken by the Company to align its structure to expected revenue, management's current business forecast, quarter-end cash balances, the new line of credit with Bank of America, and additional measures available to generate cash, the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations for the next 12 months. However, the Company's ability to meet its obligations is dependent on its ability to execute on its plans, of which success cannot be assured.
